THE AWFUL PERIL

which surrounded them, with steady pull
the two boats were making good Roadway
for the shore when a wave of great power
struck both boats, Capsizing them instant
ly and pitching their twenty-five occu-
pants into the boiling sea. Then began a
desperate struggle for life, and with many
of the men it was prolonged one. The
Mortified life-savers on the beach were
pOwerless to assist their drowning COM
rades, or the unfortunate strangers. The
drowning men were carried southwest by
the seas, and some of them were washed
ashore As they came within reach they
were picked up, and endeayors were made
to revive them, and in two instances
with success, although one of the two is
badly injured. The vessel is the German
ship Elizabeth, Captain Hslberstadt, from
Hamburg to Baltimore, and not one
of her crew survives her wreck.
Her cargo is unknown, as the high seas
have thus far prevented any attempt to
reach her. 1t is thought she is leaking
badly, and ut sunset her masts were
thought to be giving way. Of the Life
Saving, the following were lost:

The feeling of satisfaction all along the
line, at the running of trains, is general.
With navigation closed by reason of heavy
ice, the people of the region between Par
kcrsburg and PIT Pleasant are complete
" cut off from the remainder of the State,
and the mail service is more a memory Of
the boating season than a present fact.
Some pretense is made of carrying the
pouches overland, but the service is charms
ingly irregular. There is great anxiety,
also, to have shipments of coal made
along the line above New Haven, and al
though the Railroad Company is reluctant
to engage in freight traffic at present, it is
probable some coal will he hauled as a
matter of accommodation.
Having thus passed over the extension
of the Ohio River road, and critically and
carefully examined every foot of the way,
! can emphatically attest to the fact that
no better constructed railroad was ever
thrown open TO travel. Embracing in the
expectation that / would receive lively
shaking up before Pt. Pleasant was reached,
found the train to run very smoothly at
all times, and passengers will suffer no in
convenience whatever on this score. The
many and long stretches of straight track
are adapted 10 a high rate Of speed. and
with the Huntington extension In opera
ton and through trains running, very fast
time will be made. The country through
which the line passes is rich in fine seem
cry, and the line is fairly entitled to the
appellatiOn of Picturesque" In summer
more enjoyment can be obtained by trip
south from Parkersburg than over any
other line leading into Wheeling, and ex-
cursions will surely be largely patronized.
Those readers who have regarded the
country south of the Little KaDawha as a
sort of enlarged edition of Wetzel county
terre iRcogRito made up of dense forests,
frowning hills and uncultured natives, "
will experience 3 most agreeable surprise
in journeying into that hitherto almost in
accessible region. The country is rich in

There were several speeches made al the
meeting of the State Republican Central
Committee, at Cleveland last week, some
thing alter the "Whoop' er-up Liza Jane"
Style, as will be seen from the following
quotation from Charlie Fosters address:
I've will win victory for Foraker this
year and put OHIO in the lead and in the
position where we can nominate that man
lur President of whom we all can say, no
matter how much we love Others, that, ii
we owned this country we would take John
Sherman to run it,"
Who will say that Foster did not dis
cover Foraker? This aught 10 be a cheap
campaign for the Republicans. A bakers
dozen have already written the names ON
the slate for the State ticket, therefore il
will not be necessary TO 20 through all
this routine OF holding county conventions
to appoint delegates, allernates, ,(no proxies
allowed now) TO 70 TO Toledo to hold only
a ratification meeting. A dozen men can
do tins just as well.
"lf we owned this country we would tax
John Sherman TO run it," Well, yes, we
presume you would like to do that very
thing. From the shaping of matters and
| things for the sixteen or eighteen years
these Beme statesmen have secured some
heavy mortgages upon the country and now
they desire TO get in position TO foreclose
Should there be enough damphools in the
country to crafty this ambition OF the
Shylocks, the soil OF America will be worth
about len cents an acre--for grave yard
| purposes.

A Case of Genuine Chlyalry.

A commercial traveller two months ago
was ierried across river near Texarkana
by two men, and paid the usual fee of half
II dollar Tor the service. On his return
the same ferrymen carried HIM back, charg
ing So for the service. The traveller de-
cined 10 be swindled IN this brazen man
ner, and refused to- pay, and the ferrymen
seized his two sample Gases, aud swore they
would keep them until the S5 was paid.
Mr.Wnller Ridgley, planter in the
neighborhood, a graduate of Yale College
ami gallant gentleman happened to he
present at the altercstlon, and interfered
TO protect the stranger. The two pirates
at once attacked Mr.. Ridgley with their
revolvers, but the latter proved an awkard
man in a row, and succeeded in killing
both his assailan,s. The relatives of the
latter vowed revenge, and two of them
waylaid Ridgley and endeavored to kill
him. Here again good fortune attended
our hero, and he succeeded in killing both
the desperadoes receiving himself no harm
About week ago the third act III this
bloody drama was concluded. This time
three more of the relatives of the ferry
robbers visited Mr., Ridgley's barnyard,
succeeded in getting him out OF doors at
midnight by raising commotion among
his horses and cattle, and then made n
murderous assault upon him. He defend
ed himself with daunlless bravery, killing
all three of the assassins and receiving
three serious but not mortal wounds him-
self. For these acts of chlvalrous brave
ry an open letter has been issued to the
travelling men of the United States, signed
by prominent members of the order, ask
ing that subscriptions of twenty-fiv i've cents
each be sent to the Chicago Tribune by all
of the fraternity, and that this sum be ap-
piled to the purchase of such medal, watch
silver or other testimonials as may be
thought hest and as will tilly mark appre-
citation OF the noble and generous conduct
OF Mr.. Ridgley 10 n stranger, and of his
heroic resolution. The appeal should be
answered promptly, and handsome testi-
monial given TO Mr.. Ridglev for his valor
in n good C2eusImd Leader.

FANATICISM,

These wild and extravagant notions of
religion ought to be tempered by a
wider reign of studies and clearer
view of the wants and woes of mankind.
These wants and woes ave so common
and universal that every person knows
or might know what they are, and food,
clothing, shelter for the body, faith,
hope and charity for the soul. In Gods
storehouse there is an abundant supply
of these. Let each man, woman and
child have all he wants to meet the de-
mands both of his body and soul. Why
not Do you want to starve man and
worry his soul? 1t is in these robberies
that our woes begin. The robber and
the robbed. The one has no food and
the other no soul. Such a condition is
the hell upon earth into which men
plunge. DR.. Enoch Pond, President of
Bangor Theological Seminary, said to
the students: ~ take it that the greater
part of Christianity consists in the ex.
ercise of common sense" The yenera-
BILE Doctor differed widely from some
others who seem TO hold that Christian.
ity consists in the exercise of no sense
al all, but rather glory in the tumult of
passion amid the contortions of spiritual
thunder and lightning. There is con-
tinuous strife going on among men
which is not altogether innocent or
bloodless. Multitudes are striving to
see who shall be the greatest and make
the most noise in the world. Not the
least among them are those who defy
the pope or make a god of the founder
of sect, and make great flourish in
the enumeration of proselytes, after the
manner of the Jesus who in this insane
crusade uncompassed sea and land.
That these zealots have mistaken the
genius and spirit of the Christian sys
tenn is evident. The emulation that
Christianity inspires is OF very differ
ent kind. Our Lord took upon himself
the form of servant. Wherever he
went mankind received some benefit
from his services. He proved himself
to be rescuer and n comforter. Where
want and woe existed then the Messiah
was sent to supply the one and remove
the other. The most needy and the
greatest sufferer enlisted his warmest
sympathy aud received his first bene-
factions. When the Spirit of Christ is
infused into the Catholic and Protestant
sects there win be wondrous reno.
walton and exhibition Of reciprocal low
ing kindness. These standard bearers
sent by the great chieftain To seek and
save the lost will scour the field and
look after the wounded and dying,
They will make division of labor and
in sympathetic squads search every nook
and corner, lest some warrior fallen in
the midst of earth's conflicts should
faint and die for the want of some min,
isterlng angel to give him cup of cold
water. In this grand and pressing work
of humanity the greatest strife will be
to see who can excel in merciful minis
trations. We follow leader who did
not spare himself, but pressed into the
thickest and most deadly conflicts and
died on the battlefield. We have his
watchword. ut is more blessed TO give
than TO receive" y.

"Razzoop."

Hon. Tom A. McNeal, OF the Medicine
Lodge Cresset, having become tired of the
word "boom," has coined new word TO
take its place. II is "rSzzoop." This hor-
orable Tom will not say, hereafter, that
Medicine Lodge Is blooming" but is raz-
zooplng." Medicine Lodge has good
henlthy-not "boom"-hut 'razzoop." The
editor of the Cresset, delving in long-for-
gotten lore, says the word is derived from
the Bishari's word "razzor," commonly
used in connection with certain Liza
Jane, i. e., "whoop'er up Liza Jane. u
Though the origin is not exactly ~ it
should be, says the honorable Tom, "that
ia whte-the word is 30 appropriate that
it should stand, and then the fifteenth
amendment makes IT constitutional and
this constitutlonality Ia further proved by
the heavy Democratic majorlties that roll
up from Arkansaw."
Rnzzoop signifies sharpness, clean carv.
ing. penetration, hustle, hustle, "get-up-
and gel," "get-thar- 4" "never say die

our spirit of progression never sleeps; I
shows that we are moving like the razor
cutting slick and clean, and like unto lh'
